Broadcast television licensing is not ordinarily a hot topic during a presidential election. But Donald Trump’s threats are not ordinary, either.

In the past two years, Trump has called for every major American TV news network to be punished, according to a CNN review of his speeches and social media posts. He has imprecisely but repeatedly invoked the government’s licensing of broadcast TV airwaves and has said on at least 15 occasions that certain licenses should be revoked. His anti-broadcasting broadsides – against CBS, ABC, NBC, and even Fox – are almost always in reaction to interview questions he dislikes or programming he detests.

” That would be a profound ethical lapse, and there was no evidence that it happened; but Harris was widely thought to have won the debate, and Trump lashed out on Truth Social. He referenced Disney Entertainment co-chairman Dana Walden’s close relationship with Harris and said, “if she did give the questions to Kamala, ABC’s license should be TERMINATED.” Two sources with knowledge of the matter said Walden shrugged off Trump’s missive, but others at ABC found it frustrating and perplexing.
